On Saturday, March 23, from 10 a.m. – 2:30 p.m., the Artesia Police Department and the Artesia Center will once again host the 2013 Child Safety Fair in Guadalupe Park. The event is free, and everyone is invited.

“This gives us an opportunity to interact with kids outside of school or a service call,” Sgt. Esteban Sepulveda said. “It brings a lot of community entities together in one location, and people have an opportunity to find some good information about some very important things everyone should be aware of. It’s also a great family atmosphere and a lot of fun for everybody.”
